Thank you so much for clarifying this, I am excited. A briliant move, BTW,
to put it in different packaging and different numbers, as it does not
disrupt the previous items. I hope that there will be more sets along other
lines in the future. (HINT MONORAIL & FUTURON) ; )
I hope this will be a postive financial quest to TLC, I know I will be
buying a few of them. Thanks!
